No Spoiler Movie Review

I'll get this right out of the way. Go see Avatar. See it in 3D, IMAX 3D if possible, and see it before you hear a whole lot of stuff about it. This is one of those movies you should just see for yourself, before you know the whole story.

Go now. I'll wait. I'm gonna put a few pictures here so that you can come back after you have seen the movie.

You still haven't seen it, have you? That's OK. I'll see you after Christmas, because I really want to write about Avatar, but I don't want to wreck it for you.

I saw Avatar in Imax 3D and give Avatar a 9.5 out of 10.

Comic-Con 2009 - Saturday - James Cameron's Avatar

Saturday is so big that I am breaking up the day into a series of reports, starting with Avatar. No, not The Last Airbender, but James Cameron's Avatar. I missed the 3D presentation Thursday, but there were some displays in the main hall that give us a few clues about the upcoming film.

Sideshow Collectables had a very detailed model of the AMP suit on display. The AMP Suit presented is a weapon, no doubt about it.



Mattel had an Avatar display as well, featuring one of two full size AMP Suits made for the movie. The arms and legs are made of metal. That thing must be really heavy. Unfortunately, the AMP Suit was in a very cramped area which made it hard to get a picture of the whole thing.

Mattel also had a few displays of the toy prototypes.









One of the cool features of the toys is that they each come with a card that matches the toy. If you put the card up to your computer's webcam a 3D model of the vehicle appears on the screen on top of the card. You can get more than one of these models going at the same time and use them to play a simple game on the computer. The models can fight it out.
